Those looking to host community events and activities in Turlock have another opportunity to receive funding as the city is once again accepting applications for the Community Events and Activities Grant.

The purpose of the City of Turlock’s Community Event & Activities Grant Program is to assist organizations that are committed to promoting Turlock through a variety of events and activities that highlight the community, enhance the quality of life for residents and invite guests to visit Turlock, all of which have a positive impact on the local economy. 

The Parks, Arts and Recreation Commission will review and evaluate all applications and make a recommendation regarding grant funding for each event. Upon completion of the evaluation process, PARC will forward its recommendations to the city council for final consideration and approval.

Funding from the program is derived from the Transient Occupancy Tax or commonly known as the hotel tax.

The deadline to submit applications for potential or planned events from July 1 to June 30, 2026 is 4 p.m. Feb. 28. Applications can be submitted online through Community Pass on the city website at Register.CommunityPass.net/TurlockCity. 

Whether it’s a cultural celebration, environmental initiative, community market or any other engaging activity, community members are encouraged to apply. Each entity may submit a maximum of three applications. Organizations may request up to a maximum of $3,000 per event or activity application.
